Here's a link to the TIS

Watch out for the Cliff Claven on this board. |
What does the temperature of boiling water have to do with anything?
I'm familiar with the TIS as well as had this done several times by a reputable shop that walked me through it while we were under the car.
Everything I said is basically the same procedure as the TIS you linked.
- Bring trans to temp, check for fluid seeping out of fill hole
I'm not a big fan of passive aggressive so if you disagree with my opinion of what "up to temperature" is just say so...mon ami
